Andrew WK - Party Til You Puke EP
(bootleg)
Legally kosher or not, a CD reissue of Andrew WK’s pre-Island Party Til You Puke EP is no laughing matter, boy, unless yer laughing with joy, cuz these are six of the most mean-rockin Andrew WK jams ever kicked out, capturing the mega-nova intensity between AWKGOJ babysteps and major label semi-restraint. No room for the later fist-pumping and banner-waving here; this is the total electro-dance-metal experience: dirty! Three hoarse romps through “Party Til You Puke” that shift the focus from the LP version’s dense noise assault to the underlying jackhammer pulse, mix #2 beating you into submission with an extended death-disco fade. “Dance Party” fuses the Andrew WK party frenzy with his musical know-how better than any song yet/since, with multi-channel orders to “DANCE” over triumphant tear-jerk piano. Bait: it’s featured here in an extended mix, with a previously excised dropout section in which the man screams the EP’s obvious MO: “I WANT YOU TO DAAAANCE.” Insanity peaks on a gleeful “I Want to Kill”: “I want to kill/I want to make sex”…sex/death/party/murder all together at the height of the party, logically spiraling down into the concluding, disorienting noise sludge of “Old Man.” Twenty-two minutes total on Party Til You Puke, each one exhilarating/exhausting as fuck. Genius.
